Adjustable dispersion-slope compensator using entirely thin-film coupled-cavity allpass filters in a multi-reflection parallel configuration

A novel multi-reflection device composed of two coupled-cavity filters in a parallel configuration is reported. The device provides adjustable dispersion slope between -0.9 and -16.5 ps/sup 3/ over a bandwidth of 3 nm.
